these are such a great compliment to any summer dinner. they are cool, creamy, refreshing & super delicious! i actually used pre-made mini pie crusts. they cut quite a bit of time out of the process & made them the perfect size. whip some of these up for a super yummy & easy treat!
{brit's creamy lime pies}
8-10 mini graham cracker crusts
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
2- 8 oz. packages cream cheese, softened
1 can sweetened condensed milk
finely grated zest of one lime
green food coloring
1 cup cream fraiche or crema
1/4 cup whipping cream
1/4-1/3 cup powdered sugar
In a large mixing bowl, whip together lime juice, cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk & lime zest. Add 1-2 drops green food coloring. Spoon into pie crusts & place in the fridge.
In a seperate bowl, whip together cream fraiche, whipping cream & powdered sugar. Whip until light & full. Spoon onto lime filling & put back into the fridge. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
